What you should know: In their fourth season under coach Tom Crean, the Hoosiers racked up 25 wins for the first time since the controversial 2007-08 season when the NCAA put the program on a three-year probation for violations tied to former coach Kelvin Sampson.

How they got here: Indiana, which lost to Wisconsin in the quarterfinals of the league tournament, was one of four Big Ten teams to earn an at-large bid and probably has its gaudy home record (18-1) and an impressive RPI ranking (16) to thank for its No. 4 seed.

Who you will notice: Cody Zeller, a 6-11, 230-pound forward, was named the Big Ten's freshman of the year after leading the league's first-year players in scoring (15.4) and rebounding (6.4). He finished the regular season eighth in scoring and sixth in rebounding among all Big Ten players and became the ninth Hoosier to be named the league's top freshman.

Strength/weakness: The Hoosiers rank ninth in the country in shooting and led their conference in scoring, averaging 77.3 points a game. When it comes to the NCAA Tournament, though, they have a reputation for bowing out sooner than expected.

Did you know? Since the NCAA Tournament field expanded in 1985, Indiana is 0-2 as a No. 4 seed, losing 72-69 to Richmond in 1988 under Bobby Knight, and falling 77-73 to Kent State in 2001 under Mike Davis.
